Preparing Georgia Peach Pound Cake
Making Georgia Peach Pound Cake is straightforward and satisfying. Start by preheating your oven and getting your baking pan ready. You’ll be creaming together the butter and sugar, then adding in eggs and vanilla for richness. The key step here is to coat your chopped peaches in flour, which helps them suspend beautifully within the batter instead of sinking to the bottom. Once everything is mixed, it’s just a matter of pouring it into the pan and letting the oven work its magic!
